Lorica®Lorica lightwieght artificial leather. It is breathable and water-repellent but it does not retain odours. As well as being tough and resistant to scratches, Lorica conforms to the shape of the foot like leather without the shoe having to be 'broken in'.

Soft Instep Closure SystemThe wide, anatomical and padded strap has been reduced and coupled to a soft, thermoformed material, increasing comfort and performance. It distributes pressure evenly over the arch area, is adjustable from both sides and can be centered perfectly. The system is serviceable and replaceable, it also eliminates the need for using the SiDi High Instep Extender.

SL BuckleAllows locking in two different ways: by taking up a number of clicks with one sweep of the lever, or engaging a half click at a time for a truly micro-metric adjustment. The two red flaps may be pressed together for complete unlocking or alternately to slightly loosen the shoe during performance.

High Security VelcroLocking polymer teeth are embedded in the Velcro strap to make the closure more secure.

Replaceable Heel CupSiDi shoes are serviceable, the heel cup is available as a spare part.

SiDi HeelThe reinforced SiDi Heel keeps the foot in position and avoids the shoe being deformed by extreme performance or prolonged pressure.

Specification information

Sidi Millenium 3 Sole

The Millennium 3 Sole is constructed out of a nylon matrix injected with carbon-fibre for added strength. The sole is designed to survive prolonged usage and changes in temperature. The heel-pad is made of non-slip polyurethane and held in place by a couple of rivets and a screw. The heel-cup is replaceable.

The Millennium 3 Sole is compatible with the best road-pedals on the market. To help cleat replacement the Look Memory Eyelet and an alignment scale is molded into the sole. Two-hole adapter kits are also available.

About Road Shoes

Road racing cycling shoes are designed without compromise to provide optimum power transfer between your foot and the pedal, a good quality road cycling shoe is a wise investment for performance and weight saving and is often overlooked. High-tech materials and precision manufacture keep weight down and stiffness up, this means your rotational mass is lower and power transfer is higher, resulting in more forward momentum for your effort.

About the Sidi brand

Back in the early seventies, most cyclists just nailed cleats to the soles of their shoes. Of course that sounds crazy to people today. But it sounded crazy to Dino Signori way back then. Sidi’s Genius road shoe is one of the most popular shoes in the professional peloton and it's worn by folks with names like Rominger, Pontoni, and Luperin. But Signori's aspirations aren't limited to the road circuit. The challenge he’s set for himself and for Sidi is to provide every kind of cyclist with the best shoe for the job it road, off-road, cyclo-cross, or even triathlon. Granted, a lot of people might think trying to be the best at everything is crazy. But then again, a lot of people thought nailing cleats to the soles of their shoes was a good idea.

Simply Excellent
Having had a low end set of road shoes prior to this purchase that left me with hot spots and numb feet I was in desperate need of a good pair of shoes.
These shoes have certainly not disappointed. The fit is superb, the material supple where it needs to be but at the same time offering support around the heel and power transmission through the carbon soles is excellent. There is no discernable flex within the shoe under power.
The closure system spreads the load niccely with the enlarged strap area and has a ratchet system which enables accurate closurer pressure to be obtained. It is easily adjuestable and could be adjusted a notch at a time whilst on the bike.
They are expensive, but in this case, quality and comfort wise it is certainly a case of you get what you pay for.

So comfortable and lightweight didn't even feel like I had the shoes on loving them.

Really comfy
These shoes are superb, really comfy and the connection between the shoe and the pedal gives great power transfer with the stiff sole.

Great shoes. Great price. Stiff, comfortable and does exactly what you'd expect.

Answer:

No, you get a snappy book with some stickers in it, and a couple of buckle replacement screws.. the cleats attach directly to the sole, I'm assuming you are referring to either a older Sidi model or Speedplay cleats

I didn't get any shoe plates or cleats. The instructions say you need certain screws for certain cleat types, but I just used the standard screws with Shimano cleats and they were fine. The shoes are fantastic.

I think Sidi might be a little small compared to other shoesizes, but I would recommend that you go to a sportshop and try out any Sidi shoe just to figure out the size thats fits you. Thats what I did and avoided having to return them because of wrong size

Answer:

Probably not.. I use these shoes with average feet and find they are just there across the arch.. Last thing you'd want is to have your foot spilling over the sole and cramping your foot..I tried a pair of Sidi Megas in 44. my usual size.. sizing is accurate and they have a generous arch and toe box which may work far better for you
